Last year the beef market wa,

Last year the beef market was very low there were several reasons for 1t, and one was that with the exception of beef matured on the northern Indian Territory ranges, the quality was quite poor. Only three and four-year-old steers would bring any money. Cows, stags, bulls, and two-year-olds were out of the market. The revenue de- rived from shipping beef to market was very small, and caused nearly every animal in Texas and the southwest to be thrown upon the range cattle market, and the natu- ral consequence was a marked de- cline in values.
 We contend that from a Texas standpoint these values can easily be restored, not necessarily by rise in bee6 falthougn a rise will cause sympathetic movement in stock cattle but a good early grass range ill Texas will so improve the cattle that may winter we'll as to give relief through the sale of meat. With good range, Texas can make an extraordinary shipment to the beef markets, and it will have 8 beneficial effect on the range trade. The present indications are favora- ble for stock to winter strong, and the grass prospect is unusually good. The stockmen of Texas ought not to injure their own pros poets by nasty sales. There are not so many cattle in the country as one might suppose, and the outlook is vastly better than may appear on the surface.-Texas Live Stock Journal.

Reports from Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona ranges all agree that cat tie have so far fared we'll.

Stockmen should not be lulIed into a sense of fancied security by the assertion of a corporation organ "that no attempt will be made by the railroad to have laws enacted of an unfriendly nature to the cat tie business" It is by just such methods that the railroad has been so successful in furthering its inter- ests. It has never been known to press to fruition any scheme when popular opinion against it was run ming high. like a cat watching a mouse, it bides it's time, and also like the cat, it generally "gets there. .'-Sagsbrush Stockman.

She is a good nilkster and not afraid of the cars -or anything else. She is COW of undaunted courage and gives milk frequently. To man who does not fear death in any form, she would be a great boon.

Tuesday morning about four o'clock
a body of armed men, some sixty or
seventy-tiv in number, visite,l the Jail
at Yorkyille, S. C. and demanded the
KEYS of Sheriff Glenn, who declined TO
deliver them, whereupOn the doors were
battered in by the mob. Several OF tie
company then forced their way to the
inner cells, where six prisoners who
were recently brought from Columbia,
charged with the murder Of young
Good, were confined. Having selected
five out Of the six, the mob carried them
out a mile from the courthouse, where
they hung them to trees with pillow
lines. Their names are Giles Good,
PANTY Thomson, Bailey Dowdle, Dan
Roberts and Nose Lipscomb. The
lynchers are not known, and no steps
have vet been taken TO identify them.
The bodies of the five cOlOred men were
taken charge of and buried by the coun-
ty authorizes. The lynching was quietly
executed, and showed thorough organl-
cation on the part Of those engaged in
It. John Lee Good, the murdered boy,
was twelve years old, son OF William
Good. prominent farmer OF York
county. On the 30lh of last November
he detected several colored men stealing
cotton from his fathers field. They set
upon him and beat him to death TO pre-
vent his informing on them. Nose
Lipscomb, Dan Roberts. Bailey Dowdie
and PANTY Thomson were suspected
d were arrested. PANTY and Dan
confessed that they did the killing. and
implicated the others. Subsequent in
vestigations showed that these colored
men belonged to large band who were
bound together BIZ secret oaths for the
purpose of robbery and to kill anyone
who detected them in the act Of steal
ing.

An Alexandria NvidOw's Luck

The commissioners appointed by the
Equity Court of Alexandria, Va, to aX.
anime into the affairs of an old jeweler

startling discovery the other day while
searching the dead mans house for his
personal effects. The house that he oc-

party came across an old iron safe, and
in it were found $4,000 and over 300
gold watches, of all ages and designs.
The widow was as much surprised at
the discovery as the commissioners.
She stated, however, that her husband
had told her that he had money, but the
amount she never knew. The commits
sioners took possession Of the money
and jewelry, and notified the court OF
their discovery. When the matter be-
came known to the public general sur

the old man as being very pc T.. Later
it was found out that he owned consid-

old miser will be fixed splendidly for
the balance of her life. The affair is
